Read: Matthew 6:9-13

What do you want to see God do in your life? 

The next line in the Lord’s Prayer is only three words long, but they are three incredibly important words. He says, “Your kingdom come” (Matthew 6:10a). 

Jesus is inviting us to pray that the Kingdom of Heaven would be present in our world. In Heaven, there is no division, so God is inviting us to pray for peace in our nation. In Heaven, there is no fighting, so God is inviting us to pray for unity in our church. In Heaven, there is no sickness, so God is inviting us to pray for health and healing in our family.

These three words are an invitation to intercede on behalf of our loved ones. Today, we are going to take him up on the offer.  

What do you want to see God do in the lives of the people you love? 

What do you want to see God do in Red Rocks Church? 

What do you want to see God do in your city? 

One of the most practical ways we can work to make Heaven more crowded is to pray this prayer: Would your kingdom come in Denver, Austin, Brussels, and whatever city you are in, as it is in Heaven? 

Prayer: Father, I know that prayer is powerful. When I pray, you listen. And so I boldly ask that your kingdom come in my home. Would you bless my spouse and kids (parents, roommates, etc.)? I pray that our home will be unified and full of joy and laughter. God, would your kingdom come in our church? Let Red Rocks Church be a place where everyone feels welcome and where more and more prodigals continue to come home, in Jesus’ name, amen.
